Screen One presents Hitchcock

BARRIE- The Barrie Film Festival’s Screen 1 film series presents Hitchcock Feb. 6 and Feb. 7.
Lurking behind Alfred Hitchcock, cinema’s “master of suspense” – the extraordinary film icon known for orchestrating some of the most intense experiences of menace and intrigue audiences have ever seen, was a hidden side: his creatively explosive romance with his steadfast wife and filmmaking collaborator, Alma Reville.
Hitchcock lays bare their captivating and complex love story. It does so through the sly, shadowy lens of their most daring filmmaking adventure: the making of the spine-tingling 1960 thriller, PSYCHO, which would become the director’s most controversial and legendary film.
When the tumultuous, against-the-odds production was over, nothing about movies would ever be the same – but few realized that it took two to pull it off.
The film stars Anthony Hopkins, Helen Mirren, Scarlett Johansson, Toni Collette and Danny Huston.
Screenings are Feb. 6 at 4 p.m., 7 p.m. and 9 p.m. and Feb. 7 at 4 p.m. and 7 p.m.
The film is rated PG.
